As a fresher you may end up working for the same position and on same salary for long period. I have saw the freshers(who have done graduation from BCS, BCA) who joins Capgemini at CTC 2.5 LPA and after 3 years was on 2.75 LPA. So as a fresher you might stuck in this. You might get selected for technical role but after you may end up doing support task(For fresher's who's first company is Capgemini).

Company knows how to train people for their jobs. There are many people who will help you selflessly. Everyone seems proactive which is must if you are new to company. For freshers, it's a blessing as it not only train you the best but also gives moral values learning (which will help you your whole life) and also nice people who helps you in every situation.
